  • Page 12: General Description

    Instruction book General description Introduction General QED air dryers remove moisture from the compressed air by cooling the air to near freezing point. This causes the water to condense. The condensate is automatically drained. The dried air is warmed up before leaving the dryer.

  • Page 17: Condensate Drain System

    Instruction book The refrigerant enters evaporator (2), where it withdraws heat from the compressed air by further evaporation at constant pressure. The refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is sucked in again by the compressor. Automatic regulation The condenser pressure must be kept as constant as possible to obtain stable operation. The fan control switch therefore stops and starts the condenser cooling fan (11).
